About Me

Hello,
I recently bought a Wadia di322 DAC and it sounds fantastic, but i have some problems.
It is connected direct with a USB Audioquest cable to my vortexbox based streamer (AudioAanZee )

When i start a new song there seems to be a kind of fade-in, so i miss the first second of a song.
This is not always the case but occurs regular ?
The second problem i have is that when i start a 24/96 track, i hear the song distorted. When i stop the song and
start it again it plays right ?
Before this DAC i've had a PS Audio NuWave DAC with the same configuration and played without troubles ?
I hope someone have can help me with this, thanks in advance
greets,
Arjan

Recently took delivery of a Wadia 121 and early listening sessions are quite positive. Simple setup, no drivers, instantly recognized by my Mac Mini. The configuration is Audirvana > Mac Mini (USB) > Wadia 121 (Balanced XLR outputs) > Classe DR10 amp > Focal 1007BE speakers.
Liking the digital volume control. The remote is well made and substantial feeling.
I've been listening to the 2011 Reference Recordings HRx sampler (176.4kHz/24). Nice indeed. The Wadia supports up to to 192/24 on all inputs natively on a Mac.
Previous DAC's in my system have been the HRT Musicstreamer II, Moon Audio 100, Moon Audio 300D, Rega DAC. This one may be a keeper.
So far only downside is the bottom case says "Designed in USA, Assembled in China" I try to buy American products and had read on a trusted site that the unit was manufactured in the US.
